The Situation in France.

The crisis through which the Republic of
France is passing is full of peril. 1t is prob
able, however, that it will get through
safely The monarchists are active, but
they are not strong enough to overcome the
sentiment in favor of the republic. The
Deputies who favor a monarchy are united
now, but if there were fair prospect of
the overthrow of the republic they would
be divided into hostile factions
President Grevy proposes to resign. but
not right away. He thinks his immediate
resignation would endanger the republic,
and perhaps he is right. If he resigns when
be thinks he ought to he may not only be
able to retire with honor, but may also save
the republic from serious trouble.
President Grevy is no more responsible to
the Chamber of Deputies than President
Cleveland is to the House of Representa-
tives With respect to the Executive De-
partment, the French constitution differs
from ours in this: Under our constitution
neither the President nor his Cabinet officers
are responsible to Congress. If they avoid
causes for impeachment they can snap their
fingers at Congress. A hostile Congress is
no reason why the President or any member
of his Cabinet should resign. Under the
French constitution the President is not re-
spoGsible to the Chamber of Deputies except
when the charge of treason is brought
against him, but his Ministers are. They
are the creatures of the Chamber, end
as all of the Presidents acts have
to be countersigned by them.
he can not discharge the duties of his Office
at all if the Chamber is not disposed to per-
nit him. 1t has only to refuse to sustain
the Ministers to entirely obstruct the Execu-
tive Department of the government When
the Chamber withdraws its confidence from
the Ministers they have to resign, and the
President might as well resign also, since he
is powerless.
If President Grevy resigns his action will
establish precedent which will doubtless
be followed in future. The criminal con-
duct of M. Wilson has brought about a
condition of affairs that, in all probability
will result in the establishment of this prece-
dent which is hostile to the best interests of
France. The Republic would be much
safer if the President were not subject to
the will of the Chamber. If President
Grevy resigns future Presidents will have
to keep constantly in view the fact that if
they want to retain their office they must
always manage to have the support of
majority of the Deputies.

The I ish Vote Rejected.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep)
Mr. Blaine's friends are making a great mis-
take in dwelling so strongly as they do upon the
support Of the Irish vote. Every other Repub
lican mentioned for the nomination is just as
sound" on the Irish question as Mr.. Blaine
and just as well entitled to the Irish vote
There is such a thing as losing some of the
American vote by reaching too far after the
Irish vote, and Mr.. Blaine may find himself in
that position. There is already strong talk of
an American parry, which, if organized, would
cost Mr.. Blaine more votes than he is likely to
get from the Irish

Charles Sanford, Of Brooklyn, was the
victim of a practical joke at Hyde e. Beh-
mans variety theatre last Monday, and
strange to say he failed to appreciate it,
While watching the antics of half a dozen
young girls in abbreviated dresses, who
were engaged in the performance, Mr..
Sanford was given an electric shock, and
when he discovered that he had been the
victim of a practical joke, he became infu-
rated and left the house, amid the shouts
of derision of the other spectators. Consid-
ering that he supplied all the fun, and was
the only person in the house who failed to
receive any amusement, he thinks he is enti-
tied to $4,000 for injury to himself, and
his feelings, and he has accordingly begun
an action to recover tnat e-nount,

suit brought it into prominence, circum-

What may prove a fatal blew to the
United Labor party in New York was dealt
by DIR. McGlynn at the Fenian meeting in
that city recently, where he made an ad-
dress. AS usual the speaker devoted the
greater part of his address to eulogizing
himself, his peculiar, hazy theories on the
land question and denouncing the Irish
leaders, the q, 900 men whom he says sold
themselves in the last elections, and the
church of which he is an outcast The ex-
priest disguised his hearers, and when his
utterances were published in newspapers
next day the entire Irish population of New
York protested against them. McGlynn
has killed himself, but George continues to
profit by his connection with the labor
movement.

1t seems to be the general impression
throughout the country that the first ma
tional Thanksgiving day proclamation was
issued by President Lincoln, but this is not
the case. Lincoln merely revived the Gus
tom established by President George Wash
ington Jan. l, 1895, when he issued his first
Thanksgiving day proclamation from Phil
adelphia. His example was not followed by
his successors, however, and though at times
several States observed the day, there was
no general observance until the administra-
ton of President Lincoln.

vote that he might have cast if he had wanted
to but didn't. John is a great, broad, long

The trouble with the Mugwump consists in

who left the Republican party, on the ground of
the reform of the Civil Service, to act with

TOWARDS LIFE OF HENRY WARD
BEECHER" has been Issued, and il
fully meets the expect ltion which
awaited it. 1t is a remarkably bright
and interesting book, coming as it
does, from one of the most accom-
plished of journalists, and concerning

One of its most remarkable features
is, that it gives Us an insight into Mr.
Beecher's own mind and heart, such
us nothing but the breathing of his
inmost nature to his most trusted and
lifelong friends could fit an author to
present. Mr. Towards biography is
interesting as we'll as accurate-a
merit almost as rare in biography Us
in history. The work is as timely, too,
rs it is accurate and interesting
Popular interest in the character and
deeds of the great orator has had little
time to abate in the few weeks that
have passed, since his body was
carried from Plymouth Church, and
buried under a pail of roses. For the
scope of the work it is enough to say
that it is complete, covering Mr.
Beecher's eventful life from childhood
down to the peaceful deathbed scene
in Brooklyn last March, and the great
demonstrations of sorrow that came
spontaneously from his city his nation
and the world. 1t is in truth a unique
book; most ably prepared and full oI

Emterprise In business.

The American business man, says
magazine exchange, may not lay
claim to his knowledge Of literature
and the fine arts, but what is Of
infinitely more value to him, he
knows his trade and his men. He
may be slow at logic, but he darts
at chances. He shapes himself to
every exigency, and is continually
switching into new tracks. To the
spirit of enterprise, more than to
any other element in business life
has been due that rapid progress of
America that has placed all the
institutions Of our country SO far
above those of any nation in the
world. And nothing should prove
so healthful or more stimulating
to the young man entering into
commercial life than this condition
of affairs. The spirit of the times
demands of him that he must from
the very start be alert to discover
new ways in business, and find new
methods by which undertakings can
be carried out hundred times
quicker than a year ago. A safe
policy for adoption in modern times
is to stick to the old method as the
right policy, SO long as no better
way presents itself. But when that
new way is discovered, haste should
be made to improve it. Men are no
longer made as in times of old, but
make themselves by their own
efforts and energies. True enter
prise is constantly on the alert to
discover some new want of society,
some fertile source of profit or
honor, some unexplored avenue of
business, and is ready to supply the
one or take advantage of the other.

ISLAND POND, JUNE a, 4ss7,

Senator John Sherman is an avow-
ed candidate for the Presidential
nomination; if he has not announced
the fact himself, his friends have
done so for him, and apparently
with his approval. Other men are
talked of, none more than Mr..
Blaine. who, however, appears to be
taking no steps to secure the prize,
but went last week to Europe, to be
absent from the country for the next
year. But Senator Sherman is active
in his candidacy. His speeches in
the South and before the Legislature
of Illinois may be accepted as the
opening ones of the campaign which
will in a few months be upon us
with all its attendant excitement.
But, aside from Senator Sherman's
supposed candidacy, his position in
the Republican party as one of its
oldest and ablest leaders gives to his
utterances a weight and importance
that the words of few others are en-
titled to. When, therefore, he de-
fines the differences between the
Republican and Democratic parties
upon the live issues of the day, his
words must be accepted as those of
"a man who speaks with authority.
His platform is clearly stated. Re.
,duction of taxes and revision of the
tariff, he declares, demand immedi-
ate attention. The Republican party
in making that reduction and re-
vision, proposes to keep in mind
always the encouragement of Ameri-
can industry; with the Democrats
that is a secondary consideration
Protection and Free Trade will,
therefore, be one of the distinctive
issues of the coming Presidential
campaign. Other issues which Sen
ator Sherman would have discussed
arc: tie freedom of the ballot in the
South, the recognition of loyal SER
vice in the Union Army in making
appointments to office, universal edu-
cation, and internal improvements.
